Halogen lamps operate at much higher temperatures than a standard incandescent bulb.
-
Never place a halogen lamp where it could come into contact with draperies, clothing, or other combustible materials.
-
Turn the lamp off whenever you leave the room for an extended period of time.
-
Never use torchiere halogen lamps in children's bedrooms or playrooms, where they can more easily be knocked over and cause a fire.
